W124 Euro lights
I know it's been covered umpteen times before, but I've got a couple questions about W124 euros....
What are the Bosch and Hella part numbers for the pre-94 124 euros and clear corners? Also, where's a good source for these? I've been finding a bunch of conflicting information and dead-end roads while doing searches, so I thought I'd start a new thread. And in the event that the Bosch and Hella units are out of my price range, how do the aftermarket TYC and Depo brands stack up?

Bosch clear corners are:
1 305 233 936 (left) 1 305 233 937 (right) I can't remember the other part numbers and I no longer have the car (but still have a pair of corner lamps in boxes with part numbers (not for sale)). The Bosch euro-headlamps are nicer IMO, but $$. The other problem I had is that the wipers/motors/filler panels/pigtails had to be replaced with the euro-lamps. At the time ('93 or '94) I bought them for my '92 I ordered from Caliber Motors in CA and the guy knew every part number I needed for the conversion including the wiring pigtails. Today I'd probably trust Rusty at *************** as he has sent me every part correctly so far. The wipers come through the filler panel in a different place, swing the other direction, and have straight arms. The cheaper method would be to unplug the headlamp washer motor and put blank panels under the headlamps (must be painted) but here in Michigan that wasn't an option for me.

My car doesn't have headlight wipers, so thankfully I won't have to worry about that issue.
I'll have a look at *************** and see what I can find.

Looking at the Euro-EPC, the headlights ("Lighting Units") for "right-side traffic", are:
Bosch (L) A124 820 49 61 and (R) A124 820 50 61 Hella (L) A124 820 53 61 and (R) A124 820 54 61 I have one complete Hella unit, and one Bosch with a Depo lense. From what I've read, the big difference between the Bosch/Hella units and the aftermarket jobs is that the former have better reflectors, which becomes apparent in the beam patterns. Can't tell much difference in the lenses. I got 'em used. |
